From the bbc..

- Pride
- Envy
- Gluttony
- Lust
- Anger
- Greed
- Sloth
..are extended to included modern evils:
- Environmental pollution
- Genetic manipulation
- Accumulating excessive wealth
- Inflicting poverty
- Drug trafficking and consumption
- Morally debatable experiments
- Violation of fundamental rights of human nature
Interesting that it’s a archbishop in the vatican that’s making these comments, the article also says he brushed off cases of sexual violence against minors committed by priests as “exaggerations by the mass media aimed at discrediting the Church”. I’m surprised he didn’t include illegally downloading music, but I guess that’d be 8 deadly sins.
also ptha.. it’s funny to read ‘Accumulating excessive wealth’ as one of the modern evils.. The Vatican is not short a penny or two.
